    While the surgeon’s eyes are in the viewfinder exploring the operative field, Dr. Hsiang Chi (Cathy) McLaughlin is standing patient side next to the robotic arms assisting in suctioning and clearing the operative field. The vision system provides the operating team with high-definition, 3D visuals that provide more magnification than the human eye. First approved for use in 2000 as a replacement for general, laparoscopic procedures, robotic systems like da Vinci have made the technical aspects of minimally invasive surgery easier because of the systems’ extended range of motion and flexibility.
